Wilcox Dipmeter Applications

Dale O. Reese

ABSTRACT

Thick lenticular Wilcox sands of fluvial channel, bar finger, or marine bar origin are favorite objectives of drilling in the active Mississippi-Louisiana Wilcox play. Correct utilization of dipmeter surveys will facilitate development and exploration drilling for these thick sands. Detailed computation with a maximum amount of computation levels is necessary; also, detailed analysis by geologically oriented personnel is essential.

An approach to sand trend determination is presented using sand cross-bedding and counter-regional dip due to differential compaction. Substantiation is given by an example area, Milligan Bayou Field, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana.
